CTO as a Service
Technology Vision, On Demand.
Great technology companies aren’t built by code alone; they are built by strategy. Startups and SMEs often face a “leadership gap”—they need high-level technical direction but can’t justify the $200k+ salary of a full-time Chief Technology Officer.
The reality: Technical debt, poor hiring decisions, and chosen architectures that don’t scale are the silent killers of growth. Our CTO as a Service (CaaS) provides you with seasoned executive leadership to navigate these critical decisions at a fraction of the cost.
Fractional Leadership, Full Impact
Whether you need a Fractional CTO for ongoing strategy or an Interim CTO during a transition, we step into your boardroom with decades of experience. We align your technology stack with your business goals, ensuring every dollar spent on IT drives revenue.
What Our CTO Advisory Services Actually Deliver
Roadmapping & Architecture
We stop the “spaghetti code” before it starts. We define your long-term technical vision, select the right tech stack (build vs. buy), and create a roadmap that aligns with your fundraising or revenue milestones.
Real Impact:
- Clear 12-24 month technology roadmap
- Reduction in wasted development costs
- Scalable architecture design
- Vendor selection and negotiation
